Royal Caribbean changing their minds...again ?

[Elizanessie]

From reading posts out on the RCCL Forum and Roll Calls, it appears Royal Caribbean are again about to upset cruisers plans by moving a ship from Europe/Med back across the pond...unexpectedly.

 

It appears...though not as yet confirmed by an official announcement that the Navigator of the Seas will be going back to Fort Lauderdale this year for the winter.

 

As it stands at the moment the Navigator is meant to be in Europe/Med during the winter of 2011 and many CC members are booked on cruises during that time including over Christmas.

 

Upon checking the RCCL website and posts by CC members it looks like the Navigator will go back across the pond early November and will do 6/8 night sailings from Fort Lauderdale until April 2012 when she will then return back to this side of the pond.

 

Recently RCCL upset cruisers by changing the 18 nights planned sailings for the end of this year on the Independence, into 12 nights sailings,which included the Christmas sailing.

 

Are they about to cause more unhappy cruisers who have booked their Christmas on the Navigator in Europe, only to now find out the Navigator won't be on this side of the pond.

 

Is anyone here booked on the Navigator for the end of the year?

If so, have you heard anything from your TA or RCCL about the change?

The last sailing showing up with prices for 2011 on this side of the pond is 30th Oct which is a 7 night sailing.

 

So what happens after that is anyone's guess at the moment.

It would be unfortunate if Royal Caribbean decides to make a major change like you are describing and ruin a lot of people's vacation plans.
